Chapter 82 || Rumours

Days passed and Amelia got into a habit of ignoring everyone she wanted effortlessly, her heart ached on avoiding the twins especially Fred, who approached her many time, but still she had to. She spent more and more time in the slytherin common room, Hermione once told her she was working on something which Amelia might like but Amelia stormed off not hearing her completely. If someone to ask who was putting efforts, Amelia would say Hermione, she put more efforts in those few weeks which Amelia' father never put in her whole life, in her opinion.

Meanwhile Amelia stayed with Draco and his friends who happened to be the inquisitorial squad appointed by Umbridge for some investigation, being a gryffindor, Amelia wasnt allowed to be told the actual reason but she understood what they were trying to do.

Once when Amelia sat with Draco and his friends late at night in the slytherin common room talking about stuffs, as it got late people started leaving, and only Draco and Amelia wete left, Amelia thought she would go a bit later, when everyone in her dorm would be asleep.

"Listen Amelia I want to tell you something" Draco whispered looking around a bit as the room was all clear.

"What? Why are you sounding like you are on a heist?"

"Its about Potter" just three simple words caused all of Amelia's mood to crash down.

"Hm you found the most interested person for that topic" Amelia said dryly.

"Shut up, listen first, its been in suspicion that Potter and his clowns are having a secret association or something, they all meet up and do something illegal, if we catch them red handed, who knows your wish of seeing Potter in Azkaban might come true" Draco said with exciting glint in his eyes. Amelia stayed quite trying not to show any expression at all.

"I saw it myself when Loony passed throw a wall, it looked like there was adoor from far away, but when we got there it was not, Dont tell others I told you, just keep an eye on them when they are around in your common room okay? We have also got that girl Merditha Edgecomb and also her friend Chang, they are easier targets, so lets hope everything goes fine" Draco finished with a huff. Amelia hummed looking down,Draco frowned, how could she be so uninterested after knowing this!?

"Do you know anything about it?" Draco asked squinting his eyes. Amelia stared at him.

"What? No, i dont know, if I knew I would have told you" Amelia lied in one breath without even thinking, Draco hummed.

"Goodnight Draco, see you tomorrow" Amelia said standing up quickly leaving the common room going back to hers passing the black corridors. Uneasy thoughts occupied her mind, she frowned thinking why did she lie about the dumbledore's army, it obviously had nothing to do about Potter.

She shook her head telling to herself that she did right by not telling him, even if she was not on good terms with the whole lot, that doesnt mean she will spill their secret, she could be anything but disloyal. The time when she joined their little club was when they trusted her, so just simply couldnt do this to them. Am i being soft?

"Amelia?" She halted just before the stairs of the gurls dormantry after passing the potrait, on hearing a familiar voice.

"Are you still mad at me?" Letting out an exasperated sigh she stood still, not knowing what to say, how to react.

"I dont know if it will help my case or not- but I am really sorry Amelia" She scrunched her face finally turning around in the dim common room.

"It was not your fault Fred" Amelia said annoyance clear in her voice.

"Then why are you ignoring me too?" Even if light was barely there she could feel, hear, sense he was hurt. She sighed going towards him in one swift moment and wrapping her arms around him. It didnt take another moment for him to follow the action and held on to her finally feeling relieved.
